Exploring the world in Reception Class

Reception class constructed a ship together this week and it has special powers; it can take the children to any place in the world in less than a minute! Yesterday they visited America and Australia and they saw kangaroos!

Christmas Nativity tickets

We have a few spare tickets for the two performances; please come to the office if you need a ticket. We can also issue standing tickets if we run out.

Measuring in Year One

Year One have been measuring mass in Maths this week and they have been comparing and contrasting weights and then estimating the weight of objects.

Thanks

Thanks to everyone who brought their child's Christmas Cards - £73.50 was raised for the school from the sales. Thanks also for the food for the food bank, Pupil Council will take it over to the local food bank soon. Thanks also for coming along to the Christmas Fair; we will let you know how much we raised next week.

Design and Technology in Year One – making hummus!

As part of their Dips and Dippers project in DT, Year One made their very own hummus this week. They considered how best to share the ingredients and what weights were required of each item. They then mixed the ingredients together and most importantly, they had to taste test it!
